Sometimes I get so caught up in being diabetic that I really need to do something to take my mind completely off of it. So I've turned to my lap knitting looms. It's made me realize the importance of hobbies.
For one thing, it relaxes me. I've seen my blood pressure numbers especially go down and I find myself not doing as much snacking. When I am using my lap knitting loom, it's like I'm taking a break from being diabetic for a little while. It feels really nice.
I hope that you will consider the importance of hobbies as related to the stress of being diabetic if you haven't already. If you do have a hobby, would you like to share it with me and tell me about it? Maybe I will do a story about you here on my blog.
I love creating things. I've decided to keep this knitting hobby going so I'm going to put my things up for sale at http://www.SherryCreates.etsy.com
